Subject: [PATCH RFC V2 09/17] memremap: Convert devmap static branch to {inc,dec}

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

While reviewing Protection Key Supervisor support it was pointed out
that using a counter to track static branch enable was an anti-pattern
which was better solved using the provided static_branch_{inc,dec}
functions.[1]

Fix up devmap_managed_key to work the same way.  Also this should be
safer because there is a very small (very unlikely) race when multiple
callers try to enable at the same time.
